Publisher's Synopsis
The Blind Sisters of Saint Paul is a novel written by Maurice de la Sizeranne and published in 1907. The story centers around two sisters, Gabrielle and Marie, who are blind and live in a convent in France. The sisters have been blind since birth and rely on each other for support and companionship. Gabrielle is a talented musician and has a natural gift for playing the piano. She dreams of becoming a famous musician and touring the world, but her blindness holds her back. Marie, on the other hand, is content with her life in the convent and finds solace in her faith. The novel explores themes of sisterhood, faith, and the limitations of physical disabilities. It also delves into the struggles and challenges faced by those with disabilities in a society that often marginalizes them. Throughout the story, the sisters face various obstacles, including the threat of the convent closing down and the arrival of a new Mother Superior who is less understanding of their disabilities. Despite these challenges, the sisters remain steadfast in their faith and their commitment to each other. Overall, The Blind Sisters of Saint Paul is a touching and poignant novel that explores the complexities of disability and the power of sisterhood and faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
